“Really good food with wonderful waitstaff. #iraeats“

“Our experience was fantastic, thanks to our waitress, Alejandra! She was amazing – extremely attentive and ensured our food was served quickly and correctly. Alejandra checked on us frequently, and we never waited more than a minute for refills or any request. She was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. Highly recommend dining here with service like hers!“

“Had a great dinner here before our concert at Ravinia. Our server, Tobyn, was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. We had the Roasted Beets with goat cheese fritters, the Rigatoni, and the Eggplant Flatbread. It was all delicious!! And what a fun winelist.“

“This is probably one of the worst food pics I've ever taken only because I knew how super delicious everything was going to be and I took it in a hurry to dive in! My husband and I travel through the area a few times a year on the way to see a medical specialist. We discovered this restaurant about 4 years ago and the roasted Greek chicken dinner is ALWAYS a homerun! You know how you hyper fixate on a certain meal, but eventually it loses its shine so to speak, well I keep thinking that will happen with this chicken. But it is consistently amazing. You get a nice big salad or soup, rice with Greek potatoes, freshly cooked vegetables, half or whole chicken, (the whole chicken order only comes with the sides for one like the half chicken, but it could easily feed two) warm pita and a lemon wedge. I happy dance from the first sprinkle of squeezed lemon over my plate on through the last bite. We always have enough to bring home for lunches as well. Such good food that really makes you feel good. Friends back home always ask if I had the chance to stop by during our trips because they know what a highlight it is for us.
The atmosphere can be a little loud and echoey at times. I had an injury that makes bright lights and loud spaces pretty painful at times. When we can't eat in, we order for carry out and picnic in the very nearby, super beautiful park with great facilities, Sunset Woods Park. Greek chicken in a beautiful park? **Chef's kiss**“

“Food was actually so good. The employees were friendly with us. Nice little location perfect for a family meal.

Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options, you can have a good meal here.

Parking: There is some spots in front of the store but there is a big lot a few feet away, very good location.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly space.“

“The service was fine. Our server was polite and responsive. The atmosphere is casual. As there are lots of hard surfaces, the noise level is somewhat high. The food was good. The "black truffle" barrata is a ball of cheese on top of some stewed green vegetables. I detected no evidence of any truffles in the dish. No truffle aroma or flavor. Seafood pasta primavera was tasty with fresh seafood.“

“I’m celiac and so much of the menu is gluten free. Great prices and no gluten free up charge! Hotdogs, burgers, fries, chicken tenders…all gluten free and delicious gluten free buns. Highly recommend!“
